Mike Ashley has made a nice capital gain from his recent investment in Game Digital as the value of the British video game company's shares rose by more than 50 percent to 37 pence following better-than-expected results and a statement by the management that it will invest in the growing e-sports business. Since then, the share price has kept about 36 pence. After a profit warning, Sports Direct International bought a 26 percent stake in the company for around £11 million (€12.0m-$14.2m) in July. Meanwhile, SDI has further raised its direct and indirect stake in Debenhams from about 19 percent to 21.04 percent, including 10.5 percent of the voting rights in the British department store chain.
